Its important to understand how this large scale wireless encryption exploit operates and how you can take preventative measures to protect your network from the KRACK exploit and future security compromises to come. WPA and WPA2, an otherwise ubiquitous wireless encryption standard was at the center of the exploit. What Can I Do?

Security – What do you need to secure the Internet access points at each of your offices? So we created a secured Internet access point for the company, backhauled Internet-bound traffic from offices across the WAN to that Internet hub, and minimized the need for branch security.

Any SD-WAN should build a virtual overlay of encrypted tunnels between locations. The SD-WAN make configuring this mesh of tunnels simple, managing the encryption keys, creating the tunnels, and automating their full mesh setup. The most common way to deliver threat protection at a branch is to deploy a local firewall or UTM appliance.

Cloud and SaaS traffic must be first brought from the branch to a secured Internet access point at central location. As such, traditional MPLS architecture find it difficult to offer low latency/high performance access to cloud and SaaS applications and services. SD-WAN directs WAN traffic across encrypted Internet tunnels.

Traditionally, network visibility within the WAN has been made possible by SIEM (security information and event management) solutions and network management systems that aggregate packet flow data from multiple security and network monitoring tools such as security appliances, firewalls, and endpoint sensors.

SASE SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) converges network and security functionalities into a single cloud-based solution. SASE merges the network optimization capabilities of SD-WAN with a full security stack, including Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and more.

Security SD-WANs achieve significant gains in agility and cost reduction in large part due to their ability to leverage direct Internet access (DIA) at branch offices. But DIA also significantly expands the attack surface far beyond that which can be protected by the basic firewall provided in SD-WAN appliances.
